The Raley's Sign Fell

Harder to take these things apart than it looks:

Part of the iconic sign that once stood outside the historic Raley’s store on Freeport Boulevard came crashing to the ground as it was removed by crane this week.

Topping the marquee that has greeted shoppers with puns for decades, the big, red block of letters spelling out “Raley’s” detached from the crane midday Wednesday and came toppling down, partially hitting the side of a nearby work truck. No one was hurt, but the sign appeared to come within a few feet of hitting two workers perched in a cherry picker as it fell suddenly and violently.
